IRS990/Desc0Missoula Writing Collaborative (MWC) teachers are professional writerspeople who have made writing their lifes work. They have written and published many books, poems, stories, essays, and articles, receiving prestigious awards and prizes for their work. The MWC Artistic Director, Sheryl Noethe, was honored with a Missoula Cultural Council Achievement Award in 2004 for her area teaching, and in 2011, was named Montanas Poet Laureate. MWC Executive Director, Caroline Patterson, was a Wallace Stegner Fellow in Fiction at Stanford University and has received fellowships from the Montana Arts Council, the San Francisco Foundation, as well as the Ludwig Vogelstein Foundation. In 2017, she published a story collection, Ballet at the Moose Lodge. The school year of 2016-2017 was another year of exciting growth for the Missoula Writing Collaborative. In 2016, we again received enough support through grants and financial donations to support 12-week writing residencies in every Missoula County Public School fourth grade. We also funded writing residencies for third-grade through high school-aged children, in locations ranging from one-room schoolhouses to large multi-level classrooms throughout western Montana. Since 1994, we have brought creative writing to more than 39,000 children in twenty schools in western Montana. MWC Writing Residencies: In addition to serving nine Missoula public schools, one Missoula middle school and one high school, the tendrils of MWC extend northeast through Ovando, Potomac and Seeley-Swan schools; northwest to Arlee, Pablo, and St. Ignatius schools; and south into Lolo and Florence-Carlton schools. Our writers in residence have taught poetry to nearly 2,000 children in 2016-2017, completed anthologies and conducted readings for seventeen schools in locations ranging from school gymnasiums to the banks of the Blackfeet River (the Seeley Lake High School), the Hanging Art Gallery (the Arlee Elementary), and the Burns Street Bistro (the Lowell School). In addition, students from Washington Middle School and Lewis and Clark read on Montana Public Radios Pea Green Boat. MWC currently posts Monday poems featuring student work on our Facebook page and we completed an overhaul of our website. In 2017, MWC received a $20,000 grant for its work on the reservation and a $30,000 Grant to create a childrens poetry map at the Missoula Public Library. Reservation Work: With the support of existing and new grantors, MWC was in five schools on the Flathead Reservation, including elementary school classrooms in Arlee, Pablo, St. Ignatius, Dixon, and Ronan. We hosted an all-reservation reading and potluck at Salish-Kootenai College on November 15, 2016, attended by numerous schools, where students read their own work. The student readings at each school were well attended by teachers, parents, and community members. Words with Wings: Our summer camp, which started in 2010, had one of its most successful seasons. Eighty campers ages 8 to 14 wrote ekphrastic poems (poems written in response to art) in collaboration with the Museum of Art & Culture and river poems with the Watershed Education Network. Our teen writing workshop for ages 15 to 17 had an enrollment of 15. The final Words with Wings reading is held at the Missoula Book Festival. Students from both camps read on Montana Public Radios Pea Green Boat. MWC also started a Words with Wings GEAR UP camp in St. Ignatius for students on the reservation. While the first year was small, we hope to grow in the next year. Fiscal Sponsorship: MWC continues to be the fiscal sponsor for Free Verse, a highly effective program where writers teach writing to kids in juvenile detention centers in Montana. Free Verse, in 2017, won a $30,000 grant. Community Workshops: MWC hosted The Writers Room, a day when community members could take a workshop from MWC writers in downtown Missoula for a nominal fee. The event featured a lunch with a writer discussing writing techniques and an even
